No I did not do a survey but rather worked on isolates already identified and maintained at the germplasm centre at the international centre of insect physiology and ecology ( ICIPE)

thanks a lot

Beauveria bassiana

(Bals.-Criv.) Vuill.

Dear D. Salgado_Neto,

This fungus is grey, and its covering of the cadaver is different comparing with Beauveria bassiana isolates which I usually isolate. Did you identify a B.bassiana isolate like this before?

Did you molecular analysis with barcode in Genbank for id

No, I classified it depending on only morphological classification keys

Only morpho no is sufficent!!

I khnow, but we can not use this method easly for identifing a large number of isolates, and I am working on a survey of entomopathogenic fungi in big region and get a large number of isolates

But this fungal growth was found only one time.

it seems to me to talk to ox sleeping, these fungi are complex with the forms in no minimum two stages of life some have the three different scientific indicators without analyzing molecular is not a serious work

I thank you so much for your information, analyzing molecular is a later step in our work, after finishing the samples collecting.

Hey How Lets Go!

What did you mean?

is a slang to say hand work, when you find out the id tell me I found similar to Beauveria or Metarhizium

I am thankful for you, once I identify it I will tell you and send its spores and the colony on PDA.

No, it is better to send the barcode and register the molecular analysis on Genbank mainly if it is a new species. I insist on saying that the morphology is insufficient in this case.

I made a survey of entmopathogenic fungi on sunn pest, but I didn't have this fungi.

And when I did survey of entmopathogenic nematodes using galeria larvae as traps I've got some entmopathogenic fungi but I didn't have this fungi

Yes, I saw that it is a strange fungus. It was found only one time untill now. Besides another time during a survey of entomopathogenic Nematodes. So I would like to show it to another researches

Can not be identified from a simple colony, or is it identified from the morphological or molecular point of view?

Morphological identification should be backed up by molecular work to remove any doubt about the identity of the fungus

I am not going to identify it from this photo, but I shared it with you to see if this fungus is known for any research because I have got about 90 different isolates of entomopathogenic fungi untill now, and never seen it before

Hope you help me

Okay, I understand but I have not come a cross it. All the best.

Thanks a lot D. Mweke, hope we cooperate together in the future

Sure Lobna Rajab I look forward to further cooperation.

I never saw fungus like this, I always make survey on aphids.

This increases the need to identify it

D. Huang, is your survey performed using galleria bait method or on aphid populations only?
